Manually operated or motor-driven egg and cream beaters which are equipped with two mutually movable and interengaging beating members, are known per se.

A drawback in such beaters is that the beating members of the same are difiicult to clean, because it is connected with considerable difiiculties to detach the beating members from the device proper. Other drawbacks reside in the devices being not adjustable in height and the complicated construction involving high costs of manufacture.

The above named drawbacks may all be avoided through the present invention, according to which essential parts of the apparatus can be manufactured in series production, and the beater is easily adjustable. Moreover, the beating members are arranged in a special handle which can be detached from the device by a single manipulation for cleaning purposes.

The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing, which shows the novel beater in side view.

In the drawing l and 2 denote the apparatus frame, which comprises two rods of rectangular cross-section, the lower portions of which are parallel. At 3 the rods are rigidly interconnected by rivets, spotwelding or in some other manner. The rod I has a vertical upper end 4, and also the rod 2 comprises a vertical upper end 5, which parallel with the member 4 and connected to the same by a transversal part 6 of the rod 2. The end members 4, 5 form bearings for a shaft 1, one end of which carries a handle 8 and to the other end of which a gear 9 is fixed.

This gear is suitably formed from a circular plate, in the bent-01f edge of which teeth are formed by stamping. The apparatus frame may be fixed adjustably to a table or the like by means of a clamping member 10 which is formed with longitudinal grooves ll, l2, adapted to receive the edges of the rods l, 2, with which a rigid connection may be established by means of thumb screws I3, M. The lower end of the clamping member ID is formed with an arm IS in which a clamping screw [6 is arranged. To the upper end of this screw a clamping head I! is loosely attached in such a manner that it may adjust itself after possible unevennesses in the lower surface of the table plate. The clamping head I! cooperates with a counterplate l8, which is fixed to stiffening ribs I9 formed integrally with the clamping member ID.

To the transversal portion 6 of the rod 2 a supporting plate 20 is fixed by spot Welding or in 2 some other manner. To the plate 29 may be removably attached a plate 23 provided on the underside with bearings 25, 26 for shafts 27, '28 carrying on their upper ends gears 29, 30 which mesh mutually and with the driving gear 9 and are suitably produced in the same manner as the latter.

At their lower ends the shafts 27, 28 carry beating members, consisting of crosswisely arranged circular straps or bands 3!, 32 and 33, 34, respectively. The supporting plate 28 which is located on the upper face of the frame portion 6, has downwardly bent lateral branches 35 extending forwards out from the portion 6 and having in their exterior free end upwardly directed lugs 22. The supporting plate 20 has also a projecting edge portion 2 I, under which may be inserted the inner end of the removable carrier plate 23 with an exterior handle 24.

This plate has on both sides a recess 2'2 to mesh with the lugs 22 on plate 20. When the inner edge of this plate is passed under the edge portion 2! and the handle 24 is then swung down against the branches 35 into horizontal position (Fig. 1), the lugs 22 will project snugly into the recesses 22', and the plate 23 will then be located steadily in the shown position.

While, for the purpose of illustration, I have described the invention with reference to egg and cream beaters, I want it to be understood that the structure may be used with any kind of a beater, or agitator, for instance for whipping salad dressings or cake mixtures.

I claim:

A beating device, particularly for beating eggs, cream, salad dressings, cake mixtures and similar substances, comprising a frame member, a driving wheel shaft, a driving gear wheel mounted on said driving wheel shaft, a pair of beating member shafts, a beating member mounted on each of said last mentioned shafts, a small gear carried by the top portion of each beating member shaft and meshing with each other, one of said gears being adapted to be brought into mesh with said drivin gear wheel, bearings for the beating member shafts, a carrying plate for said bearings provided with an end portion and with side recesses, the frame member having a fixed supporting plate having a recess adapted to receive said end portion, said supporting plate hav ing lugs adapted to mesh with said side recesses when the carrying plate is swung into position upon the said end portion after having been received in the recess in said supporting plate.

2. A beating device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the frame member is provided with two 2,488,280 3 spaced, upstanding, parallel portions each carrying one of the bearings columns for the driving Number wheel shaft. 1,847,563 1,925,638 HARRY HANSEN. 5 1,928,022 7 REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the 7 Number file of this patent: 10 576,933
